They are demanding a rise in wages for all: the SNCF unions meet the company's management on Tuesday before a strike on November 5 which could be tough
The previous salary agreement of January 27 provides for a review clause in the event of a significant change in inflation. Which is the case. The group's four unions have filed strike notice.
The SNCF railway workers intend to exert strong pressure on the question of wages. This Tuesday, there could be 2,000 of them massing under the group's windows in Saint-Denis to accompany their representatives who have a meeting with management.
At stake, an increase in remuneration demanded by employee organizations. The return of management could condition the mobilization for the November 5 strike in a context of professional elections within the company. With a notice issued by the four SNCF unions (CGT Cheminots, Sud Rail, Unsa Ferroviaire and CFDT) from November 4 at 7 p.m. to November 6 at 8 a.m. (the day of the TGV M's maiden journey), the disruptions could be significant.
According to our information, they could be similar to those observed on June 10, which was a very popular movement. The group "has the means" Remember that the previous salary agreement of January 27 provides for a review clause in the event of a "significant change" in inflation. Which is the case today with a forecast of 2.3% for the year including +3.4% in October.
The union organizations want salary measures (+2.6% for all, demands Unsa Ferroviaire) to compensate for "the increase in the cost of living" but also negotiations on living and working conditions, the social unity of the group, and more recruitment. The unions point out that the group "has the means" to accept these increases, notably with 1.2 billion in profits in the first half. “The group knows how to pass on inflation to the price of its services, it must also take into account its effects on the purchasing power of its employees,” says the Unsa railway.
While Sud-Rail speaks of “contempt”. Let us remember, however, that these profits are sucked up by the competition fund donated to SNCF Réseau for the maintenance of the network. Following this meeting, SNCF Voyageurs should deliver traffic forecasts at the end of the day.
